I guess, this should really help to reduce jaywalking in the cities where Waymo operates.

Right, but what about the mistake that is affecting you? If a person makes a mistake they will be held responsible. So, same should go for companies as well.
Good for them if they make less mistakes, they are going to save money and pay less.

I am surprised that nobody has suggested this. Should they sue and let the judge to decide if there was a problem?
This is, probably, the only way to make sure robots do the right things in the streets. This is capitalism.

In the end, it is just another tool. Yes, what you said is probably all correct. But so what? Any tool is required skills to use properly. And yes, if there is a new tool we do need some time to figure out the best way to use it.

I still like it and I am trying to be careful and I do use local bots to privacy. So... nothing changes really.

Why would you consider this a case of misuse? This is exactly what it was designed for -- chatbots are for chats.

Sometimes, to get your thoughts straight, all you need is to discuss them with somebody. Chatbots seem to be just great for this. You really do not need anything from them, you just explain your ideas and this makes them more organized. This is really useful. Especially, now when you really have to be careful what you say to others, or you may end up totally cancelled.

It is quite similar to people. When a person says something, the answer can be quite unreliable and even wrong. So.. it is too similar to us then?

Folding@home was nothing like Alphafold3. Not even close. It was a brute force docking, configuration sampling. Alphafold is a transformer based AI, as far as I know and it "knows" how to fold a protein, yes based on the previous examples from its training data. But is it not how we work, is it?

I am a scientist, I can assure you that scientists never prove anything. They can only show that the explanation they offer is consistent with the the observed facts. This is all scientists can do.

The safety of vaccines is very difficult to "prove". How would you do that? If you give the vaccine to 100 people, none of them would show anything reliably for issues which are below 1%. And 1% over a large population is a lot of people.

Depends on the definition. You can call a person / AI a Nazi, simply because it said something you do not like. And being toxic can mean a serious range of things. I bet with all the safe guards, it is really difficult for current LLMs to be a toxic as an average forum user...

I wonder how much benefit you are getting from your effort of managing this. It looks like you turn home management into your hobby. Not everyone is into this.

I came specifically here to see how soon somebody mentioned Trump. I did not take long a all. Very funny, really.

Like China cares about what people think or want. This, actually, gives them an edge over soft human loving West. We are going to loose to the ruthless practical power of China, unless... I am not sure what we can do about it, really.

In Soviet Russia, to be an artist, you had to be a member of the artist guild, access to which was controlled by the government. Government could kick you out of the guild at any moment for any reason. You could be a member and get some official salary... provided your art is inline with the Communist ideas and goals. Be obedient and do the right thing and you are going to be fine. I think Irish took the idea from them. Very wise, very wise.

It is a small amount of money, they (artists) do not have. This small amount is going to be taken from somebody and distributed by a a bureaucrat to somebody else. Small is a relative term, artist is a vague term. Obviously, this is going to end up as horrendous abusive hole for the society. And, it is not obvious what is a practical benefit of giving money to these "artists" is, either.
